French DJ Martin Solveig has been widely criticised for asking the winner of the women's Ballon d'Or trophy, Lyon's Ada Hegerberg, if she could twerk on stage.

Vardy has been nominated alongside the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Gareth Bale.

The trophy has been dominated by both Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in recent years meaning many great players have never won it.

Barcelona duo Lionel Messi and Neymar and Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo have been shortlisted for the 2015 FIFA Ballon d’Or award.

FIFA's 23-man Ballon d'Or shortlist has been released today.

German playmaker Mesut Ozil will take no notice of the critics as the Arsenal midfielder remains convinced he has the ability to one day win the Ballon d’Or.

Fresh from his Ballon d'Or triumph last week, Cristiano Ronaldo's going to buy a brand new car for each of the members of his medical team at Real Madrid.
